The Debian ‘node-backbone’ package does not depend on ‘node-jquery’, yet
when Backbone is imported it needs jQuery. So this is a bug in the
Debian ‘node-backbone’ package?

The ‘node-backbone’ package “Suggests: libjs-jquery-lazyload”, so will
typically not bring in that package. Because the Backbone package can't
be imported without jQuery, is the bug then that ‘node-backbone’ should
actually declare a dependency on jQuery?
